The recommendation mechanism of a certain leading social platform is interesting. It prioritizes pushing your most recent click or stay rather than your long-term browsing preferences. A casual like or a brief pause can completely derail your feed.

This is quite funny—someone who has been active in the Web3 field for a long time ends up seeing entirely unrelated recommended content on the first screen. This algorithm design actually reflects a phenomenon: short-term behaviors are amplified infinitely, while genuine interests are drowned out. For users, the algorithm is constantly redefining your "preferences," and sometimes it's not the most accurate.

I knew it, last time I accidentally clicked on some crappy thing, and as a result, my entire feed changed. So annoying. Algorithms are really toxic. I've been in the crypto world for so long, but I'm bombarded with Shiba Inu content. It's hilarious. Sometimes I think, these platforms know me even less than I know myself. Truly incredible. Exactly, a casual pause can overturn all your previous preferences. Who designed this logic? Short-term noise outweighs long-term signals. That's why my feed is now a mess, like a garbage dump.

Oh my god, this algorithm is really outrageous. A single accidental click can ruin the entire feed. The algorithm doesn't understand me at all; it just chases after my last slip-up. That's why I keep bouncing back and forth between Web3 and random content. Short-term behaviors are amplified infinitely, and long-term interests are completely wiped out—ridiculous. The algorithm is helping me "redefine myself" every day, but I don't even recognize myself anymore. A single stay can change the entire first screen; this design is really a bit sinister. So my recommendations now are neither Web3 nor mainstream, just a big mix. Basically, it's chasing trends without truly understanding the user.

I accidentally clicked on a shitcoin post once, and now my feed is full of garbage coin ads. Unbelievable. The algorithm really has issues. I just looked at NFT floor prices, and now it’s constantly pushing JPGs to me... The amplification of short-term behavior hits hard. Clearly a Web3 user, but the first screen is full of irrelevant stuff. Now I understand why some people say the algorithm is steering your preferences completely off track. That’s why you need to clear your browsing history regularly, or you'll keep getting led astray.

Algorithms are just helping you get chopped up, short-term fluctuations are amplified, but essentially it's the same harvesting logic, just wearing a different mask. --- A single misclick can rewrite the entire information world, how ironic... This is the fate of modern people. --- Long-term beliefs are worthless here; the platform only cares about your every reflex action. --- The funniest thing is, you think you're choosing, but actually your "preferences" have already been defined. --- Isn't this just an amplifier of market sentiment? From algorithms to human hearts, cycles always repeat. --- Short-term behaviors are infinitely amplified, long-term thinking is ignored, a microcosm of the current Web3 situation. --- Clicking can be re-encoded, so does true intention still exist? --- The platform is teaching you to forget, while you think you're learning. --- Algorithms are fine; the problem is they're too honest, reflecting human nature's fickleness. --- Your information flow is hijacked in an instant, and survival rules are this cruel.
